San Diego Show looking to repeat

MARIETTA,
Ga. – After a six-inning shutout, San Diego Show is headed in the
right direction to win their second WWBA National Championship.
The
Show defeated New Milford Express 8-0 on Sunday at East Cobb Baseball
Complex. Steven Tilley pitched all six innings and was able to keep
the Express from scoring.
“(Tilley
has) a good downhill fastball. He worked his butt off. (He’s) a
good kid, and good in the classroom, and hopefully he gets another
start on Thursday at some point,” said head coach Anthony Stabile.
The
Show also did well at the plate. Dillon Paulson, who is ranked the
No. 1 first baseman in California for the 2015 class, led the team in
RBI. Zach Weller got on base all three times at the plate scoring two
of the Show’s eight runs.
Things
are going well for the Show, who is now 4-0. Their solid defense has
paid off keeping opponents under four runs a game.
“The
ball’s rollin’. We’re looking forward to getting after it
tomorrow, keep building, try and get a good seed for playoffs, and
try and wrap this thing up and get it done,” explained Stabile, “We
got enough arms, (our) position players are playing well, we’re
playing good defense, and we’re looking forward to getting after
it.”
The
Show won the 2012 WWBA 14u National Championship and is hoping to do
the same in this year’s 15u division.
“We
came out here last year as a 14u team and we won World Wood Bat and
we came out (this year) with the same group for the most part. We’re
missing a couple pieces but they’re a tremendous group of kids and
they play hard.
“We’re
looking forward to getting deep into this tournament. That’s our
goal.…..We came out here to repeat,” explained Stabile.
Players
on the Show have come to multiple Perfect Game events, such as 2013
Jr. National Showcase, 2013 Sunshine West Showcase, and many others.
“Perfect
Game is the best in the business. Anything Perfect Game does, we try
and do,” said Stabile, “We’re trying to get our kids to the
next level and Perfect Game is the perfect opportunity for us to do
that.”
Although
most are 2015 graduates, some of them are already planning for
college.
“At
this point Dillon Paulson is probably going to UCLA,” explained
Stabile, “No one’s (verbally committed) but Yassin (Wahhab) is
leaning toward Irvine, and we’re trying to get Morgan (Baumeister)
to go to Riverside. But as of now, we’re still hoping this summer
is going to be a big summer for him.”
Stabile
has confidence in his team. With only three pool games left, he is
hoping things go their way so they come out first in their pool.

“We
came out here to win this whole thing and anything short of that’s
going to be a little bit of a disappointment,” Stabile said, “But
with all the talent out here anything can happen.”
